Does it mean that religion is no good? Do not be confused. It has nothing to do with the religion.CT Changhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11085620064834659684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663181626936078312.post-6601428747984966012011-02-14T08:01:39.352+08:002011-02-14T08:01:39.352+08:00Dear CT,

And is it the Buddhist practice to refrain helping? Does your wife refrain in daily activities or in all manner of helping, emotional and spiritual? I read of Buddhist organisations helping the sick and poor. I am confused about Buddhism after reading your post.<br />How do you feel about your wife's view? Do you agree with her?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663181626936078312.post-86750817228427918392011-02-14T02:11:09.968+08:002011-02-14T02:11:09.968+08:00Hi Chang,

Would like to highlight that your family members have also had doubts and worries. They have to be careful what to say or show to you, wondering how to keep you motivated to go on the next day, they are also careful not to show you their doubts and worries fir fear it may affect your emotion and enthusiasm. Most of all being a spouse, the one who is closest to you is most stressed. Some may choose to take the so-called denial attitude ... Like nothing has or will happen... Others may breakdown and cry every day. <br /><br />Whatever reaction they take, you understand that they all love you. So spend some time to love them, for love indeed is a miracle. All fairytales says that ... In love.... Live happily ever after...<br /><br />Take Care<br /> <br />From Bee TinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663181626936078312.post-5591282739954863992011-02-13T23:07:20.593+08:002011-02-13T23:07:20.593+08:00Dear Chang

From your blog today, I am so glad to see that you indeed had a good time with your family - wife ad 3 children. The trip to Hangzhou with your wife was particularly impressed me. It was a difficult trip according to you and I also can visualise it. However, I believe your wife had given you support and care that the trip was memorable. I reckon you will reflect what had happened and those moments both of you walked around the lake and fumbled on the bus. Needless to say, it was more meaningful when you and your whole famiy were in India doing backpacking. I am very sure your children and especially your wife understand you and are willing to support you. You need this definitely to go through another 18 months at least.<br /><br />Chang, tomorrow is Valentine Day. I believe you will do something.<br /><br />Happy Valentine Day!<br /><br />From<br />One FamilyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663181626936078312.post-29487306864850062102011-02-13T19:05:22.790+08:002011-02-13T19:05:22.790+08:00CT,

She, in her wisdom refrained from helping you for your own good. She must be providing you all the emotional support and love that you need to get you through this. She must be an angel and your rock and your strength. I hope you are thankful to her and realise how fortunate a husband you are.<br /><br />Without her by your side, how would you have got through these past months?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
